It doesn't yet; that patch is in linux-next. The firmware is shipped as
part of the kernel source tree, and you currently need to run 'make
firmware_install' to put it in /lib/firmware, although we're looking at
making that easier because apparently having to run 'make
firmware_install' is too hard...
